May ~ National Mental Health Month

*I had scheduled to re-post this litany from the archives before I went to the doctor this week. I know I will be comforted by this prayer in the coming weeks and I hope it provides the same comfort for anyone else who needs it.

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus ~ Philippians 4:6-7

Litany of ConsolationWhen the darkness of depression overshadows me, Lord Jesus, you say: I am the Light of the world.

When plagued by my fragility and all my limitations, Lord Jesus, you say: Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of God is theirs.

When sadness takes hold of me, Lord Jesus, you say; Blessed are the sorrowing; they shall be consoled.

When tormented by my insecurity and my inadequacy, Lord Jesus, you say: Blessed are the lowly; they shall inherit the earth.

When lost and unsure about where to turn, Lord Jesus, you say: Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

When fretful and obsessive about so many things, Lord Jesus, you say: Do not worry about what you are to eat of drink or use for clothing.

When lethargy and listlessness take over, Lord Jesus, you say: Seek first the Father's kingship over you and all will be given you.

This post has probably saved my faith. Thank you so much for posting it. I suffered a miscarraige in january. I was 16 weeks. He or she was also my sixth, four living and now two in heaven. My youngest is 5 and I had hoped and prayed for this baby? The baby?...him her....anyway, for a long time. I was devastated, am devastated. I love and trust god entirely but my faith has taken a blow. Your post hit everything I am feeling and I am grateful that in spite of what you are suffering god inspired you to write it. I was up, listening to a wind storm rage outside and just praying, praying for hope again. I will be reading that litany often, it will sustain during this dark time. I will also pray for you and your family. For comfort and peace. Mcm
